: I wasn't planning on spending money - I already have both motherboards and
: was wondering which one will be more efficient????

Unless you have a working Co-processor on the 386DX the 486SX will be about
twice as fast computationally overall (all other things being equal).

Doug Ingraham       A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner
Rapid City, SD      and outer life depends on the labours of other men,
USA                 living and dead and that I must exert myself in order
                    to give in the same measure as I have received.
